Services
Hiring a professional hair and makeup company that you can rely on will give you the peace of mind on your wedding day. Our artists are all professionally trained in bridal beauty. We know what looks good on camera and what will last through sweat and tears. At Vanity Belle, your Bridal Consultation is all about the experience.
Weddings can be booked up to a year in advance, and no later than 3 months to ensure your date. However, if you are in a pinch, let us know and we'll do our best to accommodate. Trial Runs should be booked 4-6 weeks in advance. We recommend booking your trial on a special day, so that you can show off your beautiful look.
Our intimate, modern salon in Costa Mesa has a plethora of unique bridal accessories, hair/makeup must-haves to try, and champagne to sip on. If your mom or maid of honor wants to get a trial done, that's no problem! We have room to pamper you both at the same time. Interested in getting your "Day Of" services done in our salon?
Lessons are done in our Salon or we can come to you for an additional cost. Makeup Lesson includes a shopping list and a take home document so that you don't forget what you learned. We carry our favorite makeup brushes in our boutique for purchase at a very affordable price. Instilling confidence in teens is our main priority.
Like all passion in life, Vanity Belle was first born out of love. During the planning of their wedding, back in 2009, Victoria realized that there was a huge need for an on-site beauty team that specialized in bridal. She didn't want to go to a salon, she knew she needed a large team of stylists for her large bridal party, and couldn't find anyone who really understood what was needed for a bride to look and feel her best.

Amazing experience! I took a risk with a new hairstylist and I'm so glad I did! Dannielle is AMAZING. I totally chopped my hair off and she did an amazing job. Not only do I walk out feeling great, the cut she does makes it really easy to style from from which is key for this busy single mom! I know it says "bridal boutique" but I would highly recommend for all salon services, not just an event!

This company has it going on! From the beginning I was super impressed with the layout and the amount of information on their website. I found everything I needed, but still had a few questions. I got in touch with the owner, Jonathan Nino, and he was VERY responsive. Anytime I emailed him within the one year up until my big day, he was getting back to me very fast, which was awesome. I also requested to pick my artists for my trial (they're typically assigned to you) after looking at the San Diego locations artists IG pages and he allowed me to do so which I really

Love love love! Jennifer did my makeup and Taylor did my hair for my wedding. Both were such lovely ladies and did such a fantastic job! I don't have close up photos of my hair and makeup yet, but I was told that I looked as good at the end of the night as I started it. My bridesmaids also used their services and all of us girls were so happy with their services. One of my bridesmaids said it was the first time she didn't make changes after the artists left. And the mothers also got their hair/makeup done and they looked phenomenal! I highly recommend their services!

This company is unbelievable!! They deserve NEGATIVE 5 stars. He doesn't deserve to have a hair makeup artist work for him. Stay clear of Jonathon Nino. His mandatory makeup for the bride you have to pay for and this is not stated anywhere in the contract. He is the most rude person ever! On my wedding day he texted me at 0209 in the morning!! With Payment? See text below. My bill was already paid for over $800. for three hair/ makeup services. He was so rude continually texting at 2am on my wedding day 8-18-18. It ruined my whole wedding day!! Skip the rude middle man Call an artist direct

Strongly recommend Dannielle at Vanity Belle! She listens to what you want and delivers. She's knowledgeable about all hair types (mine is curly) and recommended a great deep conditioning product (NouNou hair mask) that has literally poured moisture back into my curls since day one. She didn't cut more than I wanted and she's interested in a long term plan/goals for length and color. She didn't talk down about my previous stylist ... so many times someone will make a comment or a face about the previous work, but Dannielle was objective, interested and willing to take the time

They did a great job with my hair and makeup for my wedding day. We got off to a rocky start when my assigned stylist didn't show up to the trial appointment. But Vanity Belle dealt with the situation and sent Danielle to the rescue. She did an amazing job, both during the trial and on the wedding day. My hair and makeup looked fabulous all day long!

Cynthia, Cynthia, Cynthia!!! You did a fantastic job. I must say I was a little nervous as I went through the pictures and did not see a reflection of me. So I took a leap of faith and made and appointment for my wedding day hair and makeup. It was absolutely impeccable! I felt and looked like a million bucks. Thank you for putting me at ease and doing a wonderful job solely off a picture I had showed you. And BTW... my eyebrows were fleek!!!

Everyone at Valente is incredibly sweet and talented! Danielle has done my hair a few times now and done a great job with color, cut, and extensions. I was upset after another local salon dyed my hair dark brown bc she "thought it would be better this way" when I had asked for just a light toner on my blonde hair. I was scared to go light again for a while bc I thought my hair would break off with another layer of bleach on top of the brown but Danielle was able to bring me back to the light side after only a few visits!

If I could leave 10 stars I would!!!! Dannielle is AMAZING! I hadn't colored my hair in a year or cut it in 6 months. She did an amazing job. I attached photos to see! The cutest salon I've ever seen everyone that came in to work throughout the day were so sweet and friendly. I can't give enough praise! You want your hair done right Dannielle is your girl!

I went here today to get my hair done by Dannielle. WOW! She did an amazing job and she styled my hair perfectly! I highly recommend Dannielle and I will definitely be going back to see her again. The salon is decorated so beautifully too and is in such a nice location. So glad I found this little gem of a salon!

This review is not technically for this location, but I wanted to update my review. I ended up going to the Orange County location after the owner Victoria contacted me after the no show at the San Diego wedding I was attending. She told me that behavior was unheard of and not tolerated and wanted a chance to make it up to me. I had a wedding in Long Beach a month later that they offered to comp my hair and makeup services for, which was incredibly generous.
Amanda did my hair (she was so sweet!) and Lauren did my makeup. I got to try airbrushed makeup for the first time, which I am now a huge

Dannielle from Vanity Belle did me and my bridesmaids' hair for my wedding, and it could not have been more perfect. She was super personable and friendly, too, which made hanging out with her all day fun! I'm from out of town, but they were kind enough to schedule my trial run the morning before the wedding at 8am before the studio normally opens. The little studio is super cute, and I'm sad I don't live in La Jolla because I would love to go more often!
Dannielle was very creative and did a great work product, listening to what I or each girl wanted and tweaking the result

I'm so happy I found Vanity Belle. I literally found them about 3 weeks before my wedding and they were able to accommodate a hair trial appointment quickly. I had no idea what I wanted so I ended up getting 2 hair trials with the lovely Dannielle Robeson. Idk where to start with her, she is soooo sweet and told me I'm allowed to be picky because it's my wedding day. The first hair trial she did I loved but later realized I wanted to try a different look. We did a second hair trial and It clicked.. I wanted a combination of hair trials 1 and 2. Dannielle showed up the day of my wedding

This salon is gorgeous and perfectly appointed. The decor is beautiful and so feminine. All of the staff is super friendly and instantly makes you feel at home. And free champs? I mean, that's a no brainer! Sold.
Prices are totally reasonable and you will be made to feel at home right away. Amazing color and stunning cuts, (and the best blowouts in town)- AND in such a convenient location. Truly Hollywood-level quality and expertise. LOVE this place and the pampering they provide to all of their clients. I'm a loyal belle now. Can't wait for my color next week! (I can

What a fantastic little gem in LJ! Beware, they are a "hidden" gem for sure. They are located across the street from Georges in the International Building. Lots of little businesses in there. They are across from the deli in the back. Gorgeous decor, think fresh, clean, GLAM! Crystal chandeliers, mirror and silver accents. Minimalistic feel but warm and pretty. Large flowered wall, literally huge flowers on the wall (not real). Two stations and a bench so we are talking small space but what they did with it was incredible. I walked in and was greeted by the gorgeous Alayna, my stylist

This is a hidden gem! I love Vanity Belle, and will absolutely refer all my friends and family to get themselves beautified here!
I visited their other location in OC when I was getting ready for my high school reunion. My review is posted on their page there. So when I heard that they were opening a La Jolla location, I was so excited to visit them there, a little closer to my house. I was in on Saturday to get eyelash extensions, Lily worked with my schedule to book it at a convenient time, and the whole experience was fabulous.
